Have owned this scale for years. Bought two on Amazon. I use one for measuring insecticide that comes as soluable granules. Usually an acre’s worth needs only a half to one ounce. This is very accurate when spraying smaller fields or using a backpack sprayer and need to measure small amounts. The second one is used for bread. It used to weigh yeast, salt, water and for single loaves, 400g of flour in a light stainless bowl. This scale is very accurate. I have had two walk off (stolen) by vendors who liked it so much it disappeared on me. This scale can NOT get wet AT ALL. If you are messy with ingredients this is not the scale for you. If you run a tidy ship and can keep it clean it will work for years.

Both of my sons have this same scale, so I got one, too. I use it two or three times every day, sometimes more, to weigh supplements, food items, baking ingredients, etc. I've also used it to weigh many pickleball paddles. Size is good, easy to read numbers, can change from ounces to grams. It is very accurate. The batteries last many months. All in all, I'm very pleased with this scale. Highly recommend, though the price has gone up quite a bit in the past few years. The high capacity, 500 grams, was important for me.

Excellent scale for measuring super light ingredients. We use it mostly when baking bread and measuring out yeast. It’s made our recipes so much more consistent

I haven't used it for much yet but done a couple of tests and it works well, consistent and precise measurements great for what I wanted: for coffee measuring and also yarn/fiber. However, when I tried to turn it on initially, it was dead. I don't know if the included batteries were just dead, or the cold had killed them, or what. They were situated correctly but didn't work. As soon as I replaced them the scale was usable.

I use this little scale for my espresso and it works great. it is accurate and has a nice cover. It is small and works well for weighing anything in the kitchen. Great scale, great price!

Worked fine for a couple months then started getting squirly. It can’t get wet or have any substances around its edges. Turns off mid weigh now.

I use it to weigh kibble for the cats. Really easy to use and clean and store. Nice, handy little scale to have around.
